What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
Doing laundry, watching clothes tumble in our neighbors new Hamilton dryer with the pinky-purple light shining on towels as they tumbled past the window, seeing early DWs and knowing we would have to get one, talking with the repairmen who came and serviced our appliances, watching a friends 57 Frigidaire and enjoying the fragrance of their DI-56, watching another friends big WP combo and later getting it, all the washers we had while I was at home, getting our first electric range, our DWs, our dryers all after lots of selling my parents on the idea, getting my first Duomatic, getting our first Cory glass brewer and my first Sunbeam Coffeemaster, and especially the kind people who would talk with me about various appliances all through my life, like the family across the street when I was 4 who had me over one morning to watch their Economat work.
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Like with children who are loved and wanted, long periods of wanting them and making preparations to get them. Lots of obsessing and anticipating and finally their arrival.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
